I'd like to see photos of that one if you find it. Here is my other one. There is another thread on it.

The "new" 606" is here. Thanks to Sam for helping to get it loaded. It's pretty rough but runs, drives, stops, and builds air. The inertia starter works, as well as the air steering. And I didn't realize just how straight the front bumper is. All in all I'm pretty pleased. The plan may end up to...

The T96 was used in 2 wheel drive DJ-3A civilian Jeeps behind the 134 ci flathead 4 cylinder engine. Most if not all of these Jeeps had column shifts, with side shift transmissions. Your transmission does not look like it came out of a Jeep. I'm not sure what else this transmission was used on...

Clint, I knew I would eventually figure out a way to get you over here !

I had the C2 out of the garage for a little sunshine this weekend. Pay no attention to all the engine parts piled on the rear.

Paul, my orange wrecker is fairly complete and has a pretty good cab, but needs an engine and a rear end, and the rest of the drivetrain is questionable. This one has no wrecker equipment and the cab is in poor condition, but runs, drives and stops. It also has lots of other parts I need. It...

What a co-incidence that I posted exactly a year ago today that the Federal without the boom was for sale. I just bought it. It will be a while before I get it home.

This would make a great project for someone. It's a Ward LaFrance 1000 M1 wrecker. The curved boom and military gauges in the dash make it a Series 4, which were only built in 1943. A friend has talked to the owner and the price is 20K. I wonder if he is including a free restoration ??

Thanks, I will keep that in mind if I can't fix this one. What kind of shape is yours in ?

It's funny, I think there are more of these restored in Europe than here in the U.S. I can think of maybe 4 to 6 restored C2's overseas, perhaps 1 or 2 here. But it seems like there are more unrestored C2's here in the U.S.

Howard, I may have to have you and Chris come over for an un-sticking party ! You won't have to lie in the dirt though so it won't be as much fun as Chris's Sterling LOL.

Ex NASA, that's pretty cool. I work at the Kennedy Space Center. Did they come from Houston ? No funds right now but I may be interested later. You can probably tell from my garage that I used to work Space Shuttle.

I'll have to get a 5th wheel first LOL ! Do you have the 25 or 40 footers ?

This past July I bought the Federal C2 wrecker at the Jeff Chester auction in Ohio. and it was delivered a few weeks ago. The truck is a great old survivor. It was bought by a house moving company in New Jersey after the war, and was kept inside while they had it. It was saved from a scrap yard...

You have really done a wonderful job with your jeep. It looks great. I think you will really enjoy the V6 and overdrive, especially when driving to long distance shows. With your faster speed and acceleration I would upgrade the brakes if it were mine. Gladiator and Wagoneer 11" drum brakes from...

The Federal without the boom that started this thread was on Craigslist about a month ago. The ad is gone and I don't know the status. I hope it found a good home.

It looks like a 1940's Oshkosh from here. The windshield is unusual on both these cabs.

Torisco, I think the "S" on your steering box is for Studebaker. I think I've heard that Studebaker steering boxes were often swapped into Jeeps in the '50's and '60's, before the Saginaw conversions became popular.

I bought a couple of DVD's on ebay several years ago that were just WW2 military ads. I think you would like them, no wading required ! Here is a link to the website, but it looks old so you may want to verify it is still active...

It's been over 35 years since I flat towed a Jeep but I was always told to NEVER flat tow a model 18 transfer case without removing the rear driveshaft, and the front driveshaft as well if there were no front lockout hubs. It was said that the bearings would not be oiled properly when towing...
